I love these baseball murder boys. Are you considering posting it on mangadex or similar when you’re through

I don't know. I probably should (and certainly wouldn't blanche if anyone else did it for me), but the main issue is there's really not any place to put a comic like this. Its niche is very weird. Too old for the mainstream webtoon crowd, but too absurd for academic historians. Which is a shame, I could teach a whole course on the story and everything it says about South Korean culture past and present. I'd consider trying to track down the rightsholder but I'm no Mister Beeg, and I can tell you from personal experience that South Korea is not a hospitable environment for cultural preservation, let alone translation.

In fairness to Calvin if anything my parents made was that shade of green when it got put on the plate that wasn't explicitly, like, supposed to be veggies? I'd be incredibly hesitant to eat it too.

Kevin Hart as Tiny Tim is an excellent zinger.

I'm beginning to think Legends of the Heights isn't very good but maybe it's the pacing. A cut from messaging the friend to meeting the magic critter again could've worked.

Old shouldn't matter when the work is this quality to potential fans, and I think any historian worth their slip of paper would be interested in something this absurd being popular. I'd hope you decide to help archive it, even a translation on mangadex would be wonderful. Saying this as a fan of good works no matter when they came out and loving this batshit insane comic.

Don't feel bad for not giving as much as you want if you do want to give us presents, honestly giving us anything is heart-warming and appreciated enough.

True, but I don't think Ted thought his father was a monster, they just had difficulties in their relationship and now that he's gone he's trying to deal with them so he can move on.

Kinda hard to mock Mark Trail when it's just three weeks of dragging out a week of exposition. I guess Mark forgot the seaside specter storyline, but hey, that was two stories ago so who could remember it? And honestly so far it's possible Rusty forgot too.
